ACL Enforcement

Each access point can support an Access Control List (ACL) to provide more effective authentication control. The ACL feature works in tandem with the wireless MAC Filter List currently available on SonicOS. Using the ACL Enforcement feature, users are able to enable or disable the MAC Filter List, set the Allow List, and set the Deny list.

To enable MAC Filter List enforcement

  1. Toggle the option to Enable MAC Filter List. When the MAC filter list is enabled, the other settings are also enabled so you can set them.

  2. In the Allow List, select an option from the drop-down menu. This identified which MAC addresses you allow to have access.

    Choose Create MAC Address Object Group if you want to create a new address object group made up of those you want to have access. Refer to SonicOS Policies for information.

  3. In the Deny List, select an option from the drop-down menu. This identified which MAC addresses that you deny access to.

    Choose Create MAC Address Object Group if you want to create a new address object group made up of those who should not have access. Refer to SonicOS Policies for information.

  4. Toggle the option to Enable MIC Failure ACL Blacklist.

  5. Set a MIC Failure Frequency Threshold based on number of times per minute. The default is 3.
